Comeback is real for me, it's been a while since I ride a bicycle and this is what I get. A sprained hand and some knee scratches. Yes, it doesn't look painful but trust me it really hurts, I swear it! I even told myself that I will never ride a bike again.
Here's the story behind. Last night I made 100 squats exercise and I slept at 3:45AM then woke up at 4:00AM. Yes, a 15 minutes sleep plus the body exhaustion last night makes me feel dizzy. So along the way I fell into a sudden sleep while driving and made out of balance, boom! The accident happened. That was so fast! But here's the thing. When I fell down, I feel the pain but I rise up smiling. I mean, why would I cry about it? It's just a small thing, I can still stand up and use my other hand, so the fight is still on! I'm about to give up already until we reach our precious destination, the great wall of Intramuros.
Now, I do believe that those people who study behind this wall are rich people. Well, during spanish era only rich people can live behind this wall, so why would I wonder if there are expensive schools inside. I mean, the students have their own car or a service car, and then their beauty is so beautiful like a white pearl. I think I know a place where I can find my forever. It's not my first time here tho but I feel like I'm a first timer again.
We wander around and feel the place as if we are in the spanish era. The beauty inside the wall is still preserve even tho it has developments but still you can see how old it is. The Manila Cathedral, my dream wedding church is still so beautiful inside and out, guess what! It has a cooling machine already, how rich is that! I mean, It's like you are attending a mass at forbes park. The guards are still wearing the uniform of guardia civil, so we took a photo with him. We want to go to its attractions but unfortunately it's still close. Maybe some other time. There's this mini library that can be seen in front of the Cathedral, it's so astonishing to see such thing. I just hope it's everywhere. There's no librarian but it has a rules, it's like a honesty library.
After picture taking and site seeing, I realized some things and learned too.
I realized that we should be the on who create the circumstances not us who are being manipulated by the circumstances. I made a choice to continue despite of my injury. I didn't gave up just because of my injuries. I am the circumstances, just like in life. Sometimes we made a mistake that will provoke us to give up, but are you going to let in or out?
I learned that we all need some rest sometimes. In this busy world that we have, we still need to take some rest or else we might regret it later. Resting doesn't mean you're giving up, it has a big difference. Rest then continue your journey after. Continue your journey towards your common goal.
I realized how patient my friends were. I mean if they're not my real friends, they've left me behind already. They patiently ride with me and motivate me that I can do it. Kudos to all of you, I might forgot you sometimes but all of you are the real deal.
I learned that we conquer ourselves not the world. If you are in my situation, you might think that "Yes, I made it!" But for me, I have opened another strength of mine. I have seen what I am capable of despite of the circumstances.
So there you have it. My comeback is real journey 001 to cycling.
